Within the French education system, the transition from maternelle (preschool) to primaire (primary school) is an exciting and huge step for children. This year begins their formal education and the learning of reading and writing in French. Our panel discussion with a CP teacher and an experienced parent will offer developmental insights into this age group and practical advice for thriving during this next stage of your child’s education. This AAWE and American Library in Paris program, with support from Message, is offered just once every two years. Don’t miss it!
